SO EP:24 Bigfoot At The Blast Site With Todd Neiss!

My guest tonight is Todd Neiss. Todd is a long time investigator with tons of field experience and some amazing encounters to share with us on the show tonight. He is also the organizer of the Beachfoot invite only yearly event, that hosts The Who’s Who of the Bigfoot world. Todd had his first sighting in the 90’s while conducting explosive maneuvers with the military. Stick around and hear his latest encounter from late this past year that he shares for the first time publicly. It’s a pretty wild account. See Todd’s bio below for more information on his life and experiences as a Bigfoot researcher.



Bigfoot witness-turned-researcher, Todd M. Neiss has been an active investigator for over 28 years. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, he grew up hearing of these legendary creatures, alternately known as Bigfoot or Sasquatch, but gave it little credibility beyond that of a good old-fashioned campfire tale designed to frighten young campers. All of that changed for Todd in the spring of 1993.

As a Sergeant in the Army's 1249th Combat Engineer Battalion, he came face to face with, not one, but three of the elusive giants in the temperate rain forest of Oregon's Coast Range while conducting high-explosives training. His sighting was independently corroborated by three fellow soldiers who also witnessed these creatures.

Since that fateful day, Neiss has conducted numerous investigations including several long-term expeditions in the Coastal, Cascade and Blue Mountain Ranges of Oregon & Washington, as well as Northern California, Arizona, Alaska, Nebraska and British Columbia. Todd believes that, in the tradition of Jane Goodall, Biruté Galdikas and Diane Fossey, the best way to obtain credible evidence of the existence of these fascinating beings is to insert a small research team into the heart of prime Bigfoot habitat for an extended period of time; ideally for 45 to 60-day rotations. In doing so, he hopes to acclimatize the creatures to their presence and eventually overcome their inherent apprehension of humans.

It is his opinion that these creatures possess a relatively high IQ in comparison to recognized great apes. Neiss’ current theory focuses on that presumed intelligence which he believes fosters an irresistible sense of curiosity...a curiosity which Neiss intends to exploit. By presenting a variety of baits as well as an array of unconventional, non-threatening lures within a pre-designated area, he hopes to successfully collect irrefutable evidence of these creature’s existence. "It is my goal to entice these animals by presenting a non-threatening posture and piquing their curiosity, thereby luring them into a specified area where irrefutable evidence can then be obtained," says Neiss. Once the creatures are officially recognized, his ultimate goal is to establish a management program to ensure their perpetual existence for future generations to appreciate.

Over the years, his research has garnered him international attention. He has been the subject of numerous documentaries and TV programs from the US and Canada to the UK and Germany. He has been featured on such programs as: Unsolved Mysteries, Encounters, To the Ends of the Earth, The UnXpected and has been featured on the Discovery Channel, Travel Channel and National Geographic. He has also appeared on numerous radio & TV talk shows, local newscasts and newspapers. He is currently producing a documentary about his recent expedition in the uninhabited Broughton Archipelago of British Columbia called “Operation: Sea Monkey” completed on October 1st, 2016.

He has been a featured speaker at several colleges and universities, and was a regular contributor to the Annual Sasquatch Symposium series held in British Columbia, Canada from 1996 through 1999. Neiss has instructed classes on Bigfoot for the Audubon Society as well as the Campfire Boys & Girls Society; the former involving both classroom and field work and culminating with an overnight working camp in the "Dark Divide" of Washington State's Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Recently he instructed a class for the Scappoose Middle School’s outdoor school.

Most recently, Neiss was a featured for the History Channel’s “The UnXplained” with William Shatner on August 21, 2020. It will air sometime in late November.

Todd and Diane are the hosts of the annual, invitation-only gathering of international Bigfoot researchers called “Beachfoot.” This retreat is held every summer in Oregon’s temperate Coast Range. This unique event has drawn noted researchers from as far away as Australia, Russia, England, Canada, New Zeeland and nearly every state in the U.S. This year will mark their 14th anniversary of the event.

Neiss co-founded the American Primate Conservancy with his wife, Diane Stocking Neiss five years ago. The conservancy was granted a “Domestic Non-Profit Corporation” status by the state of Oregon On October 15, 2015. Their primary mission is “the discovery, knowledge, research, recognition, and protection of the Sasquatch.” The organization has been quietly organizing expeditions, conducting investigations, and participating in multi-media and public speaking engagements in an effort to promote their agenda. They have been actively pursuing grants, donations, sponsorships and volunteers for ongoing research projects.

Ultimately, they plan to establish a world-class “Bigfoot Interpretive Center” in the Pacific Northwest as a showcase for promoting public awareness and education regarding these amazing creatures. The facility would include: an interactive museum, auditorium/conference center, art gallery, multi-media studio, classrooms, library, forensics laboratory, nature walk and outdoor amphitheater.

A veteran of the Iraq War, Neiss recently retired with meritorious honors from the U.S. Army; where he served for over 21 years.

When not working on the project, writing, or conducting research, Todd enjoys fishing, hunting, hiking and camping throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Todd and his wife currently live near Mount Hood, 50 miles east of Portland, Oregon. Nestled in the beautiful Cascaded Mountains, the “Chateau de Squatch” is in an ideal location for which to conduct their research and serves as the temporary headquarters for the conservancy.

The American Primate Conservancy has a website (www.americanprimate.org) which provides information about the Conservancy, projects past and present, theories, and more. Anyone with a legitimate sighting is encouraged to contact Neiss at 971-570-0097 or by e-mail at americanprimate@aol.com. He promises to treat every report confidentially, respectfully and professionally.





PERSONAL REFERENCES

"I have known Todd Neiss for some ten years. We first met because of a mutual interest in the Bigfoot phenomenon and within this decade we have carried out several field trips together in connection with the mystery...I know Todd to be a young man of fine moral character, a person whose integrity would never need to be questioned...he is far ahead of many in the field. This has its basis in three things and these are, essentially, dedication, tenacity and an intelligent approach. I have no hesitation in recommending Todd and the services he can render in research on what is now one of the last great mysteries of our shrinking planet, to anyone requiring his services, or wishing to be associated with him or sponsoring a project designed by and to be directed by him." - Peter Byrne, Author, Researcher, Explorer, Conservationist. Fellow, The Royal Geographical Society, London, England; Member Emeritus, The Explorers Club, New York, NY.; Member, The Academy of Applied Science, Boston, MA.; Honorary Member, The East African Professional Hunters Association; Honorary Executive Director, The International Wildlife Conservation Society.

"Having dealt with Mr. Neiss on numerous issues related to the Bigfoot problem, and having recently actually worked with him in the field in Oregon, I can state without any reservation that he is a thoughtful individual, one who is more concerned with helping to solve a scientific problem than with personal aggrandizement, one who is certainly qualified to work on this kind of problem, and one whose integrity is beyond question." – The late Dr. J. Richard Greenwell, International Explorer, Secretary-International Society Of Cryptozoology, Research Associate in Mammalogy-International Wildlife Museum, Tucson, AZ.

"I first met Todd Neiss when he spoke at a conference in Harrison Hot Springs, BC in 1996. At that time he gave a very professional account of his 1993 Sasquatch observations near Seaside, Oregon. (I briefly cited his observations on page 42 of my recent book.) Since then, we have met at other conferences and I have become impressed with his sincerity and willingness to persevere with serious investigations on his own time and using his own funds. He has investigated a number of Sasquatch reports and presented his results in timely and helpful reports which he has shared with his colleagues. His presentations at conferences and in the media are a credit to him and to our attempts to attract serious attention to this subject. I consider Todd's presence in this difficult area to be a great asset. His efforts have been important in our attempts to bring this controversial subject into mainstream biology. I hope that he will continue his work. I am more than willing to be included in any work that Todd undertakes in an advisory basis as required," – The late Dr. John Bindernagel, Ph. D., Wildlife Biologist, published author.

SO EP:147 Is There Something To This Sasquatch Thing?

SO EP:147 Is There Something To This Sasquatch Thing?

My guest tonight comes to us from my home state of North Carolina. Chris was a staunch skeptic when it came to Bigfoot, but he has had some encounters near the Uwharrie National Forest that may have changed his mind! Check out his email below. Support The Showhttps://www.patreon.com/paranormalworldproductionsAll The Socials And Stuff/Contact Brianhttps://linktr.ee/ParanormalWorldProductionsFollow The Show On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sasquatchodyssey/Chris Writes....Hey Brian! First of all, Love the show! You do a bang up job! So, I’ve had 3 encounters with what I believe have been Sasquatch in central NC. It wasn’t until the 3rd one happened that I started putting pieces together. Just a little history about myself. I have lived around the Uwharrie National Forest 95% of my life. I’ve always heard stories of people seeing Bigfoot type creatures or hearing screams, whoops and so forth. But, being I have always enjoyed the outdoors hunting, fishing and gold panning - I never believed in any of this. Finding Bigfoot came and did a show in the Uwharries and had their “town hall meeting” at the fire station that I volunteered at. I was sick at the time and couldn’t go to the meeting but I wanted to go hear these “crazy peoples” stories and see what it was all about. At the next fire meeting all the firemen where laughing and joking about “these people” and their outlandish stories. So to say I was a skeptic was an understatement. Fast forward a few years. I talked with a guy at church who knew I was into gold panning and wanted me to come down and check his creek to see if it had any gold. I agreed and said I wasn’t sure when I could come but I would first free second I had. I ended up getting off work around lunch time one day and decided to go down and check it out. They weren’t home so I parked at the gate and walked in to the property about 200 yards or so. To give you an idea of the landscape as you walk down an old logging road there is a mountain immediately to my right that would be tough to walk up and had a power line running up and over the mountain top. To my left is about 20ft of rough brush lining the creek. The creek banks are about 4ft tall with the creek running in the bottom. So as I’m walking I’m trying to find a clear spot to get down to the creek. Knowing this area is swarming with Timber Rattlers I’m taking my time and watching my steps carefully. So at about the 200yrd area I find a nice, clear, pretty level spot to climb into the creek. In the creek in a huge flat rock and I decide to use it as a work station to put my backpack and stuff on to keep them dry. So I’m here about 2 hrs and decide to stop and take a break. I’m standing there drinking some water and watching leeches swim around my rubber boots. All of a sudden something came flying through the tree tops. My first thought is “I’ve never heard a bird flying through the tree tops hitting limbs and leaves like that!” My second thought was maybe it was acorns falling? But I’m surrounded by pines! And it was moving from left to right and not straight down! So as I’m standing there scratching my head I hear something else! This time I track it with my eyes and see a rock about the size of a Jr sized football fly over my head, over the creek and land in the brush on the other side with a thud! I’m standing there with my mouth agape! I put my hand on my 9mm and say out loud “You stay over there and I’ll stay over here!” I pack my stuff up and head for my truck! As I’m walking out I feel like I’m being watched! So I have my head on a swivel! At the end of the logging road where I parked is what was used as the logging deck, so it’s kind of open. The tree line felt like a tidal wave that was going to engulf me if I didn’t get away! I threw my stuff in the bed of my truck and hauled ass! When I got to the next stop sign I had to take a minute and get myself together! I was shook! I’ve got more detail about the aftermath and 2 more encounters while hunting and fishing if you are interested.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

SO EP:141 Aliens, Faeries, and Little People!

My guest tonight is Jeremy from Wyoming. Jeremy wrote in and shared some of the details of his encounters which you can read below. We get into all kinds of topics so I think you will really enjoy this one. Please rate and review the show and don't forget to head over to our Instagram via the link below and follow us to see the photos from this episode! Support The Showhttps://www.patreon.com/paranormalworldproductionsAll The Socials And Stuff/Contact Brianhttps://linktr.ee/ParanormalWorldProductionsFollow The Show On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sasquatchodyssey/Jeremy writes.....I would like to get my stories out there, I believe that someone else out there may have had an exact or similar experience to one of mine and the fact that people can tune in from all across the world and connect the dots is special. To start I never used to believe in anything of the unknown or mysterious category. For a good portion of my life I held a very materialistic world view. I grew up in Colorado Springs and in my early adult life moved back to my birthplace in Cheyenne Wyoming. I had a really strong spiritual awakening around age 24 involving the ancient teachings of cultures from across the world and all periods of time. I believe this led to my mind opening to a lot of other topics. My first strange encounter in the woods was in Rocky Mountain national park with an ex girlfriend. We prepped for a summit climb on flattop mountain trail so we bought headlamps and rented a room the night prior to the morning of the hike. We planned for a 4am start time so we could make time for the long trail as well as being the first people out on the trail and avoiding all the parking from other visitors. When we were on the trail while it was still dark I heard small things in the brush to the left and right of us but just dismissed it as critters. I mentioned the sounds to her but more as a joke. I’m like a goat when I get on trails I have a tendency to move ahead of my partner quickly because I like to keep a good pace. At some point something in me or an inner voice or something demanded that I stop and let my ex catch up and we would hold hands and stay close until the sun appeared. We completed the summit and after getting back to the hotel room my ex told me that something had tugged on her hair twice at the start of the hike.My second encounter was with my friend, that night consisted of so much sightings in the sky, strange lights. Someone using a spotlight looking at all the same sightings we were noticing in the sky. Which peaked our interest and we went out further out of town to lower light pollution areas and on our way back home we both saw what looked like a small human like creature at the most it was 5 feet tall. It stood around the height of the light reflectors off the sides of roads. My headlights actually reflected off of his head. It's head was a metallic silver which is probably the only thing that caught my attention in the first place. Later that night we went on foot to investigate where the spotlight was coming from, we had to cross private property to get there and what we saw over the hill we hiked up was very interesting to say the least.My third encounter was quite recent in June of 2021 out in Medicine Bow Wyoming. My ex girlfriend and I didnt time a 6 mile loop trail good enough and probably during our last mile or two back to my truck it got really dark outside, where you can't even see but a few feet out into the woods. The part of the trail we were on was really narrow but we were standing side by side holding hands and just to the left of us maybe five feet into the woods we heard two loud wood creaking sounds. Like the bending of wood followed by a loud snap. It was so scary to me that I pulled out my gun and off of safety, I think she noticed how actually scared I was of this situation and she panicked right along with me. I said to her that sound is not normal, we need to go, like we need to run right now and we sprinted as fast as we could until we got to a separate parking lot aside from the one we were parked out. We actually decided to go and walk off of the highway with speeding traffic instead of continue on the trail and finish up the last mile or so in the woods.Hopefully this isn't too long to read. The stories are filled in with a lot more details when they are actually told in real time, some details are highly significant and others just hold some basic meaning.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
